Amigo Mobility, which manufactures battery-powered mobility scooters, has $700,000 to invest. The company is considering three different battery projects that will yield the following rates of return: Deep cycle = 28% Wet/flooded = 42% Lithium ion = 19% The initial investment required for each project is $200,000, $100,000, and $400,000, respectively. If Amigo’s MARR is 15% per year and it invests in all three projects, what rate of return will the company make?

What will be an ideal response?


200,000(0.28) + 100,000(0.42) + 400,000(0.19) = 700,000(x)
